In Scarlet fever cases rules and regulations pertaining to quarantine was given to the families in writing, when the placard was put on the house.
In addition to following the children examined at the Well Child Con- ference, which numbered 98, I have taken on many of the New Born Infants and instructed their mothers as to their general care.
The homes of these 98 children were visited. In order for this town to have future Well Child Conferences a complete report of follow up work must be sent to the State Department of Public Health. Instructions to parents in the better selection of food for all the family and the children is given.
The reaction of the parents in regard to raw milk following the confer- ence, has been very noticeable.
Pasteurized milk is being consumed in all of three-fourths of the homes I contact.
A toxoid clinic for the prevention of diphtheria was held, with 144 being completely immunized.
69
The importance of protecting children under school age, is that the greater number of deaths occur in children under five years.
A summary of pre-school and school children of the town was made pre- vious to the toxoid clinic. Dr. Vlado Ghetting and Dr. R. H. Spooner did the injecting. This clinic was held for three weeks with three week intervals intervening.
A summer round up or pre-school clinic was held in June. Vaccination was done at this time and was open to all children under school age.
Thirty children who entered school in September were vaccinated and given a physical and dental examination.
Thirteen infants were also vaccinated.
Two new active cases of pulmonary tuberculosis was reported to the Board of Health. Both of these cases have been hospitalized in our county sanatorium and the entire families of both cases have been examined and X-Rayed at the county sanatorium.
In June every Senior boy and girl, with one exception, and the home hygiene girls in High School had a chest X-Ray and a tuberculin skin test.
About 40 individuals have been taken to the county sanatorium for ex- amination, re-examination and chest X-Ray, as part of the follow-up on the T. B. program.
Two boys attended Sterling Health camp for a period of 8 weeks. Both of these boys have what is termed as a "primary infection," or childhood type of tuberculosis.
Twenty-five applications for examination of water was made to the Board of Health Office, with the same being investigated by the nurse. The State Sanitation inspector took samples of water from the wells of the ap- plicants and reported their findings to this office.
In September, Mrs. Josephine Abbott from the Division of Child Hygiene gave a series of four talks, at the Town Hall, to mothers. Her subject being behavior problems of the child in the home. Mrs. Abbott is an authority on parent education. An average of 27 mothers attended each talk.
A Well Child Conference conducted by the State Department of Public Health was held November 4, 6, 12 and 14. Seventy-three children were examined at this conference. A decrease in the number examined this year was due to the many cases of chicken pox in our community at that time.
We are seeing the value of the Well Child Conference from the children entering school in September. Very few defects at the physical examination are charted, for the parents are made aware of the defects at the conferences
70
with the nurse making home visits directing and encouraging parents to cor- rect the defects found and to prevent some conditions from becoming defects.
During the year the nurse attended the New England Health Institute, held in Boston, and several health meetings in the county as well as com- pleting a 15 week Simmons College Extension course.
Owing to the demands made to the Public Health Nurse in relation to National Defense, the nurse is taking a 15 week course at Boston University on the "Role of the Nurse in National Defense." The nurse is also acting as rehabilitation agent for rejectees.
I want to express my gratitude to the Board of Health, Dr. Spooner, Dr. Blanchard, Mr. Nelson and to the Well Child Conference Committee, for their interest and effort in helping to make the Town of Douglas a healthier, happier community.
Respectfully submitted,
(Mrs.) MABEL M. BROWN, Board of Health Nurse.

REPORT ON W.P.A. PROJECTS IN 1941
The year 1941 was definitely not as productive a year as was the year 1940. The shortage of skilled help that was noticeable at the end of 1940 was followed in 1941 by a shortage of general W. P. A. labor.
In January the sidewalk on Pleasant Street or Martin Road was completed and was followed by a road construction project on the Oxford Road lead- ing to the Whitins Reservoir. To carry on this latter project, outside laborers from Millbury were transported here daily.
In June, with only eight men left on the project, the Douglas men were transferred to the Play Ground Project in Northbridge. The men were transported daily to this project and charges for the same were met out of our W. P. A. Budget.
The first municipal owned truck was purchased out of W. P. A. funds and was used on the Oxford Road project. The maintenance supervision of the truck was placed under the control of the Highway Superintendent and on the termination of the road project the truck was turned over to the Highway Department for its exclusive use.
Future projects may be at defense locations and may consist of building airports or roads to defense camps. Definite instructions have not as yet been received.
The Town's share was expended as follows:
Administration and Engineering Expense $ 150.00

CHARITIES IN DOUGLAS
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of the Town of Douglas:
It is a pleasure to announce a reduction in Welfare costs in the Town of Douglas for the third successive year since the peak year of 1938, when $23,499.99 was expended. It is the first time in 10 years that we have al- most equalled the record year of 1935 when only $7,908.00 was spent. We all know of course that this reduction is solely attributed to better business conditions locally and to the general demands for labor in defense in- dustries.
Whereas Welfare costs are decreasing, the money spent in taking care of our aged has gradually increased from the $1,431.64 spent in the year 1931. With the new allowances of $40.00 per month and $65.00 per month going into effect on April 1, 1942, more money will be spent for assistance to the aged.
All outstanding Aid to Dependent Children bills and Old Age Assistance bills have been paid to the Town Treasurer. The Department has received word that the $323.00 outstanding in the Temporary Aid Account will be paid by the State early in 1942.
The State Department of Public Welfare has officially notified us that Miss Vera H. Warner has been placed under Civil Service as of June 1941, with the rating of a Welfare Agent.
During the year the Surplus Commodities Center distributed a combined value of both food and clothing equal to $3,724.85. Of this amount $2,768.70 was for food alone. The persons who are eligible to receive these Surplus products are: Old Age recipients, Temporary Aid Cases, A.D.C. cases, W.P.A. workers, and a few border line cases. Under a separate project but included in the amount is food for the School Lunch program of which Mrs. Mabel Brown is supervising.
There were twenty-eight families and sixty-five persons aided during the past year. In addition, four persons were boarded at the North Brookfield Infirmary. One of these has been given Old Age Assistance and left the Infirmary and another has passed away.
There were five families with Douglas settlements being aided in other cities and towns while one minor child is being boarded by the Common- wealth at this Town's expense.
74
Aid to Dependent Children was given to six families with twelve minor children. One of these families has since moved out of Town.
Our budget for 1942 calls for an appropriation of $8,000.00 for Tem- porary Aid, $1,750.00 for Aid to Dependent Children, $8,000.00 for Old Age Assistance; or a total budget reduction of $1,000.00 under the 1941 Appropriations.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee and Citizens of Douglas:
I herewith submit my fourteenth annual school report of the Town of Douglas, the same being the forty-first superintendent's report of the Union.
For detailed information concerning the Douglas schools, I refer you to the reports of the school committee, principals, heads of departments, school physician and dentists, school nurse, supervisors and statistical tables.
With our Nation at war, it becomes the duty of every individual to hold himself in readiness to assist our government in every possible way. This includes all of us of the school department and also our older boys and girls-especially those of high school age.
Several of my teachers have taken defense courses and are now giving courses to others. Our school nurse has taken special courses in nursing, hygiene and first-aid and is now giving the courses to others. Our Junior Red Cross unit is busy making things for the National Red Cross. Our high school students are taking courses in first-aid and nursing. Canteen courses are being given at the high school. Our high school boys are serving as air raid observers. The spirit of service to our Nation in this emergency is apparent everywhere.
A definite program for the evacuation of our schools has been worked out and we are ready for any emergency. The plan for evacuation will be revised and improved as we learn newer and better ways from actual ex- perience.
The war activities enumerated above in no way curtails our regular school program. The present need for special training in first-aid, nursing and canteen work clearly indicates that the fundamentals of such work should become a part of our regular training of our high school boys and girls. A program covering the above as well as a course in biology will soon be worked out and submitted for approval.
Taken as a whole the past year has been very satisfactory and success- ful. The spirit of the student body has been excellent and the accomplish- ments well above the average. Teachers and students alike have taken on extra duties with willingness and enthusiasm.
9
In this day and age straight thinking is of vital importance. Courses in science and mathematics necessitate straight thinking, and those pupils who follow Mr. Holmes in these courses most certainly get just this kind of training.
Our commercial department, though small, is doing very commendable work, under the direction of Mr. Lloyd Batcheldor.
The social studies,-i. e. geography, history, civics and government, are being stressed under present conditions in order that we may better learn how to live and let live. Civic duties and responsibilities are being em- phasized.
Music in our schools is decidedly above the average, due to consistent and intelligent direction of Mr. Gellatley, assisted by my teachers, Mr. F. O. Dodge and Mr. Howard Barry. Mr. Dodge and Mr. Barry give to our boys and girls free instruction on all the instruments of the band and orchestra. Few towns and cities in Massachusetts are so privileged. All this is made possible by the Mowry Fund and for which we are truly thankful.
Handwriting in the schools is of an excellent grade. Since adopting the "Functional Handwriting System" our handwriting results have improved greatly. A recent check up on the handwriting in the high school reveals the fact that our high school stands a good chance to rank first of all high schools in the State using this method.
In athletics our high school always ranks well above other high schools of our size and often do we succeed in beating teams of schools twice our size. In baseball we are outstanding.
For many years we have not had an art teacher in our schools. We did have, however, an intensive art course given to our teachers by Miss Grace Smith, the head of the art department of Worcester State Teachers College. This course has made it possible for our regular teachers to carry on in a very satisfactory manner.
A few years ago we put visual education into our schools. Every week we have educational films shown to all of our pupils. The results are very satisfactory.
Manual training and Home Economics courses went out of our course of study during the depression and has never been reinstated. Both of these courses offer much to our boys and girls and the hope is that we may be able to resume this work.
As to enrollment our total remains about the same; the elementary en- rollment being less, but our high school enrollment continues to increase. This year's high school enrollment is the largest in the history of the school.
10
The physical condition of the buildings is excellent. The service of the janitors is very good. The pupils' respect for school property is satisfactory.
In closing may I say the citizens of Douglas have a right to be proud of themselves for they have loyally and consistently furnished the funds for an adequate school system, and for which, we of the school department thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
A. B. GARCELON, Supt. of Schools.
